The Friends of Pickford Community Library, in conjunction with Hay Days, are hosting a “Family Fun Scavenger Hunt Fundraiser” on Tuesday, July 30. It provides an opportunity for families to exercise and learn together — and to celebrate the contributions of volunteers and non-profit groups in the community.

Participants will register at the Pickford Township Park anytime between 4-8:30 p.m. There is a nominal per family cost. Each family will receive a Pickford Community Library bag, and there will be handouts and prizes. After registration at Pickford Township Park, the Hunt can be done in any order.

The different Hunt items are:

• Read together and pick out a free book at the Pickford Community Library.

• Meet our early settlers at the Pickford Historical Museum.

• Ask a volunteer fireman or ambulance crew member why it is important to volunteer, sit in a fire truck and/or ambulance and sign up for a door prize at the Fire Hall.

• Blow bubbles and get chalk to do some sidewalk graffiti from the PAL Center (next to Pickford Library) sponsored by Great Start.

• Ask a veteran from Pickford American Legion Post #323 about his/her service, and thank him/her at the Pickford Township Park.

• At Pickford Township Park, find the 4-H Station and pet an animal and ask about being a 4-H member.

• At the basketball courts at the Pickford Township Park, make 2 baskets. Sponsored by Sault Tribe Youth Council.

The Hunt will also end at the park with family friendly music and healthy snacks.
